It’s not surprising given the greater than expected decline in U.S. first quarter GDP reported on Wednesday, which followed on the slump in consumer confidence reported Tuesday, that stocks in the consumer staples sector outperformed both consumer discretionary stocks and the market in general. The Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLP) gained 0.63% on Wednesday, June 29. By contrast the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLY) lost 0.08%.

Back on April 11 when I “trimmed” my bank stock positions in my Jubak Picks Portfolio ( https://jubakam.com/trimming-bank-st…wfc-and-kbwb-etf/) by selling Wells Fargo (WFC) and the Invesco KBWB Bank ETF, I said I’d sell that ETF out of my Perfect 5 ETF Portfolio when I had a replacement ETF to offer. Today I’ve got a replacement to recommend and I’m selling the Invesco Bank ETF out of that portfolio. The replacement is the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLP).
